Paving Accessible Inclusive Realities (P.A.I.R.), an innovative two-year European project (2024–2026) that aims to redefine access and participation in culture. This program marks a decisive step toward a cultural landscape where equality and inclusion are not mere goals but foundational principles. P.A.I.R. is implemented by liminal (Greece) in collaboration with Alternative Brains Rule (Cyprus) and the Estonian Agrenska Foundation (Estonia).
P.A.I.R. promotes a holistic and participatory approach, fostering mutually beneficial collaboration between cultural organizations, disability communities, and their representative organizations. At the heart of the initiative lie the Creative Accessibility Methodology and Universal Design, ensuring that accessibility and inclusion are integral to every artistic process and decision.
Through digital artworks and multisensory experiences co-designed by and for creators and audiences, both with and without disabilities, P.A.I.R. proposes innovative solutions that expand participation, amplify creative expression, and promote the sustainability of the cultural sector.

P.A.I.R. proposes innovative solutions that expand participation, amplify creative expression, and promote the sustainability of the cultural sector.
To build a cultural landscape that everyone can equally enjoy, it is essential to listen to the needs of the community. In the first stage of P.A.I.R., we are conducting research on needs and challenges.
Happening now
P.A.I.R. now shifts into a more hands-on step. Over the next few weeks, focus groups and one-on-one interviews will be held in Athens, Nicosia, and Tartu.
The research phase is open to:
Each group is invited to contribute their insights through dedicated questionnaires.
P.A.I.R. aims to instill inclusivity and accessibility values in creative processes and decision-making. Through the collaborative creation of digital artworks and inclusive multisensory cultural experiences, designed by and for disabled and non-disabled artists, creative professionals, and audiences, P.A.I.R. aspires to provide innovative examples that enhance social inclusion, while simultaneously generating creative innovation, audience development, and sustainability for the Creative Sector.
This approach means that accessibility is integrated into the artistic process from the very beginning, rather than being added on later. It enables disabled artists and collaborators to be actively involved in shaping the work as equal creative partners.
